This series is about lighthouses, and the remarkably beautiful places
where they are located. It offers viewers the opportunity to rediscover
the romance and history of these fabled structures. The six one-hour programs
visit remote locations such as Thomas Point Lighthouse in the Chesapeake
Bay, the reef lights of Floridas southern coast, Californias St. Georges
Reef Lighthouse, the lighthouses of Washingtons Puget Sound and the San
Juan Islands.

The programs also visit famous and historic locations, such as Boston
Lighthouse on Little Brewster Island, the oldest lighthouse location in
North America; San Diegos Old Point Loma Lighthouse, the highest
lighthouse in the nation; Ocracoke Lighthouse, located in the harbor that
was once home to the infamous pirate Blackbeard; and Rhode Islands Lime
Rock Lighthouse, home to Ida Lewis, who became one of the most famous
lighthouse keepers in America.
